The Boks Travel Schedule

The tournament is played over four weeks, with the first 2 games in the first two weeks.
The third week is a rest for all teams, and the fourth week is the 3rd (last) game. 

The All Blacks have to fly back to New Zealand, and will probably only start training on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Most of the starter Boks have been in New Zealand since last week and did not play a test, while Rassie arrived today- with the rest of the team on Tuesday. 

This could take away some of the home-ground advantage of the All Blacks, as it will be they who have to deal with JetLag of flying after playing a test. 

Saarkie, the ABs were out of Argie pronto on a chartered flight & back home on Monday.

Besides, jet lag plays less of a factor going from east to west. They are playing the game at 7pm their time. So the team will be fine

This turned out to be a disaster. Apparently, some players had not played a rugby game in 3 months. 
It may be a good idea during the middle of the test season, but not at the start. 

Although the game today, if anything has helped to confirm starting positions for the world cup.  The Boks need to stick with and make sire they peak for the world cup.

The Boks look worse than last season, which is saying something. I'm quite confident the 2003 Boks would pummel this Bok side.
